‘Open warfare’ at the Justice Department.
‘Open warfare’ at the Justice Department.
The New York Daily News reports:
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales took another blow from a top Republican yesterday as his own inner circle fractured over the growing U.S. attorneys scandal.
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, said Gonzales is “badly weakened” from bungling the firings of eight federal prosecutors. “The explanation has been absolutely abysmal,” Hoekstra told C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal.” …
Hoekstra spoke out as Gonzales’ closest advisers turned on one another… “It’s unreal – it’s open warfare over there,” a former Justice official with close ties to Gonzales’ team told the Daily News. …
Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, who privately blames Goodling for misleading him on the matter, may also be jockeying to take over if Gonzales resigns, sources said.
Carpetbagger has a full rundown of the warfare.

That’s what NHIndy claimed, before they caught him posting out of a GOP office. You are not an independent, no matter where you *claim* to hold your registration. You’re a GOP hack – plain and simple. And a sh*tty one at that.

I’ve always gotten a thrill out of watching predation in action in natural settings. Never before, however, have I enjoyed watching Republic Party members prey on other Republic Party members. Who needs a lion when you have Republicans? $10 says that Gitmo Al will be resigning by 5:00 pm on Friday – too late to make the evening Network news.

March 28th, 2007 at 2:01 pmSheesh, how many more body blows can Gonzales take before he goes down?
#1 probably isn’t the real Jake.
March 28th, 2007 at 2:01 pmEasiest way to get one neocon to turn on another? Offer him the high profile job if he can get the guy/gal occupying it fired… Then we wouldn’t have to do much. These people would eat their own mothers to get a promotion and pay raise…

Yeah?
March 28th, 2007 at 2:03 pmGood to see some Republicans aren’t totally without principle and care more about the country and not just their party. Gonzalez has proven he is way over his head. Now he has proven his is not to be trusted.
March 28th, 2007 at 2:04 pmimpeachment if off the table permanently, they won and they stated that..
March 28th, 2007 at 2:06 pmnow back room deals and guess what… a bunch of political corrupt

James Madison, June 17, 1789
March 28th, 2007 at 2:09 pmThe criminals are “eating their own”….how typical when the House of Cards is crumbling from the inside out. Let the whistleblowers sing for conditioned immunity from their wrongdoing associated with taking orders from the “higher ups” (hmmmm….could that be Gonzo, Cheney & Bush??)….Time now for the biggest thugs to get the heave! The Bush Cabal makes the Mafioso look like penny ante!
March 28th, 2007 at 2:10 pm#18 said, “Good to see some Republicans aren’t totally without principle” I’d like to agree, but I think what we are seeing now is political expediency, not principle. If it were principle, we’d have seen more immediate calls for Gonzalas to step down and/or come clean.
March 28th, 2007 at 2:12 pm#19 I don’t believe impeachment is “off the table”; in fact, about 20 states are holding town meetings to move toward their state mandating impeachment by this Congress right now. The movement is growing rapidly as the Bush Cabal continues to engage in a “pissing contest” with the american people. After all, they are are “paid employees” who serve “at the pleasure of the people” in this democracy and we don’t plan on ever letting them forget it.
They were not “elected” by the people in 2000 or 2004, we all know that. And, now the election “whistleblowers” are telling us precisely HOW they accomplished it. When VOTER-GATE comes rolling down the pike, it will snowball this entire administration and swallow it in one gulp! Stay tuned…..
March 28th, 2007 at 2:13 pmThere is no longer one IOTA of trust for this president by the american people. He no longer has the confidence of the majority of the people and is no longer relevant as our president. Time for him to go!
March 28th, 2007 at 2:14 pmBarfly,
For the record I would be just fine without having to read any more of Jakes sh*t, so as for myself, no not missing my “Jake fix”
March 28th, 2007 at 2:16 pmIs there anyone who doesn’t believe that this group of charlatans in the white house is incapable of stooping to the level of corruption to “fix” an election?? If so, I’ve got some prime swampland in Louisiana to sell you.
They’ve tampered with everything sacred to this democracy so why would the temptation to rig an election be somehow above them?? Hah! These guys could walk under a cockroach with a top hat on!
That’s how low they are right now in the eyes of the american people.
Once ELECTION-GATE surfaces with documented evidence (Bro Jebbie and Katherine Harris (along with their buds, Dukie and Wade know all about 2000 in Florida, don’t they?)….then the people will have no alternative but to suspect that they even tampered with 911. Dennis Kucinich knows full well and is beginning a new investigation to reopen the “official story (aka bullcrap)” which was propagandized to the american people.
March 28th, 2007 at 2:18 pm#22/23 lol… states holding impeachment….. yeah right, what about
March 28th, 2007 at 2:23 pmcongress? just a bunch of back room deals between the states +
murtha :) political parasites/leeches while 6 months have gone
by, congress ratings taken a tumble and another 250 billion to
all the crony’s … iraq, impeachment, just backroom deals, just wait
Yeah…but I’m registered Independent.

But oddly you have never backed any Democrat. How is that Independent? Surely you mean I’m dependent on Depends?
Your a IINO

#26 – …Once ELECTION-GATE surfaces with documented evidence …
Well, it did surface as an issue. Don’t laugh, but Rolling Stone did a GREAT article on it.
The power of the Bush Crime Family is such that the MSM will continue to toe the family plot line.
Remember, the revolution will not be televised. And there’s a good reason for it. The MSM is nothing but a well accepted propaganda machine.
March 28th, 2007 at 2:24 pmI’m with you veritas @ 26. This administration needs to be investigated for everything, but one of the most important investigations will be election fraud.
March 28th, 2007 at 2:26 pmAhhh,
The small, crunchy sounds of Neonuts eating their own.
It’s all about INTEGRITY, Alberto. You know, the oath you took when you were handed this office?
Goodling, you’re going down with the rest of the ship, regardless if you open your mouth or not.
Doan, your testimony this a.m. just proved what most of us already knew; you’re a dyed in the wool Bushlicker!
McNulty, you’re not getting the AG’s job. Get over it, and get ready for another job…picking rocks & garbage out of ditches.
Sampson, squeal like the pig you are.
KKKarl. What can we say? You have too many arrows flying at you to plan or pull your usual dirty tricks. Planning on pulling a Houdini?
You’re good at diversions, but this one calls for your disappearing act. Got that ready?

Sampson has agreed to testify on Thursday before the Judiciary Committee in the US Senate, a body where he used to work. One of the senators hearing his testimony, Orrin Hatch of Utah, is a former employer. Sampson served as counsel to Senator Hatch from 1999-2001.
